O'Neal successfully got a deep position in the low post, this was a perfect opportunity for him to revenge on Qin Yue.

But just as he received the ball, Qin Yue immediately gave him two elbows.

Seeing this, O'Neal turned his stunned gaze to Joe Crawford, who was standing right in front of him.

Really...

Isn't this kind of defense considered a foul?

He's a superstar, but aren't I a damn superstar too?

Sorry, if O'Neal was still wearing a Lakers jersey, Crawford would definitely whistle for him.

But for a Lakers traitor like you, a first center with only a hollow reputation left... are you damn qualified to compete with Messiah for status?

Bam!

In the low post, failing to get a foul, O'Neal forcefully initiated the offense, but Qin Yue, while using one hand to firmly hold him back, used the other hand to reach in front and successfully stripped the basketball from him.

In this defense, Qin Yue's earlier two elbows were just to test how much intensity Crawford would allow him to have on O'Neal during defense.

Since Qin Yue had already fully felt Crawford's favor, he naturally wanted to personally tear off O'Neal's mask of false strength.

In the Warrior Forbidden Area, after Qin Yue stripped the ball, O'Neal, who directly fell onto the floor, perfectly demonstrated what it means for a washed-up star to be less than a dog.

On-site, amid the rising and falling cheers of the Warriors fans, Qin Yue quickly dribbled down the court, found Brown advancing along the middle lane, and assisted him in completing a backboard-shaking double-handed dunk.

During the dunk, Brown even deliberately hung on the rim, appearing more like O'Neal than O'Neal himself.

As for O'Neal himself?

In a fit of anger as he approached Crawford to reason...

He successfully received a technical foul, sending Qin Yue to the free throw line.

Seeing this, Qin Yue even proactively pleaded on O'Neal's behalf: "Hey, Joey, please don't chuck him out, I'm still waiting to face him fair and square!"

Such an upright behavior, never taking advantage of the opponent, a gentleman just like Grant Hill — at this moment, Crawford thought so in his heart.

However, O'Neal did not at all appreciate Qin Yue's good intentions.

So much so that when Qin Yue stepped up to the free-throw line, he was still complaining to Qin Yue: "Your steal just now was definitely a foul! You bastard who only plays relying on star whistles!"

In response, Qin Yue wasn't angry but calmly replied: "Without star whistles, how would you have the opportunity to show the fans your ugly free throws?"

After pausing for a moment, Qin Yue added: "Watch closely, your grandpa here can make the free throw even with eyes closed."

The next second, Qin Yue voluntarily closed his eyes, and holding the basketball steadily, under the witness of all the fans on site and in front of televisions, made the closed-eye free throw!

"Next time you see me, remember to call me grandpa, my dear grandson!"

While retreating on defense, Qin Yue did not forget to kindly remind O'Neal.

At the same time, noticing O'Neal's mindset starting to wobble again, Riley roared at him from the sideline: "Can you damn stop bickering with that kid, you're not his match!"

You're not his match.

This sentence stung.

But Riley spoke the harsh, unforgiving truth.

The O'Neal of the past was indeed a mighty Superman.

But now, how can he still be worthy of that crown?

Since the King has aged, he shouldn't continue to rest on his past laurels, repeatedly emphasizing that he is still the King.

Tonight, without an "intelligent foot injury," no one can save Shaquille O'Neal!

In the Heat's offensive round, O'Neal, who moved up to the high post voluntarily to set a screen for Wade, brought Qin Yue along and, together with Artest, completed a double-team on Wade.

At that moment, wasn't Qin Yue worried that O'Neal would roll to the basket?

Worried my ass!

On the court, the moment Wade passed the ball, Brown blocked O'Neal, giving Qin Yue time to scramble back on defense.

Historically, even Diop and Dampier could make O'Neal score a frightening single-game 5 points in the finals...

Therefore, with Brown assisting, why should Qin Yue worry about O'Neal's pick-and-roll follow-up?

Smack—!

In the paint, unable to reach the optimal attack area in time, O'Neal could only take a premature shot, and in the next moment, he encountered Qin Yue's cold block!

Moreover, after the block, to avoid stepping on O'Neal who fell to the court, Qin Yue considerately stepped over him directly.

Onsite, the Warriors fans were at a complete climax!

Because after cutting down Dirk Nowitzki, capturing Tim Duncan, and utterly defeating Steve Nash... another famous superstar was felled by their Messiah at this moment!

In the Warrior Forbidden Area, after getting up, O'Neal, who couldn't take it anymore and didn't want to endure it any longer, immediately rushed towards Qin Yue.

But Qin Yue wasn't Garnett who fought and retreated.

At that moment, facing O'Neal, wielding all his strength, Qin Yue simply flipped him onto the floor!

For someone like O'Neal, who doesn't know how to fight, how could he be a match for Qin Yue, who doesn't feel comfortable daily without wrestling Artest and Brown a few times during practice?

Fortunately, Crawford and two other referees promptly separated the players from both teams who quickly flocked to Qin Yue and O'Neal.

On the court, after reminding Qin Yue to control his temper, due to O'Neal already having one technical foul, from the fairest perspective, Crawford did not penalize Qin Yue and O'Neal for the recent conflict.
